Re: Week 2 thoughts??

1. Really surprised by the Merrillville game. What was the story line there? Loyola come out flat? Merrillville look great? 2. Same with the Valpo game. I was expecting that one to be the closer of the two against the Chicago Catholic League. Trying to give Valpo the benfit of the doubt as Brother ...

Re: Week 3 DAC POWER RANKINGS AND PREDICTIONS

1. Crown Point: Taking the power running game + Buzea & Staff over the Pirates by 3 points 2. Merrillville: Not sure what to think about the Loyola game since it wasn’t streamed. The score itself is impressive. The Pirates are looking like a trendy pick for Friday night. 3. Valpo: The fact this Valp...

Re: Week 3 DAC POWER RANKINGS AND PREDICTIONS

It’s all based on the power running game, play action and passing to TE’s. When you have a big offensive line and limitations at the skill positions, this is what you run. I don’t think labeling it good or bad is the correct way to describe them. It’s very effective for what they have in terms of t...

Re: week 1 thoughts

Kinda watched all games on and off for DAC. Crown point defense was great against a undermanned Lowell front. They had there way with it. Offensively they don’t look great. If it’s. It Gibbs it’s not doing a lot. Pike next week will be interesting. Michigan city: offense struggles till 2nd half but...

Re: DAC week 2 power rankings and predictions

Agree with all. But just a eye opener on the brother rice vs Loyola history Last 10 meetings (not any order) Loyola @ rice 28-0 Loyola @ rice 48-38 Rice @ Loyola 0-28 Loyola @ rice 3-35 Rice @ Loyola 35-27 Loyola @ rice 28-10 Rice @ Loyola 31-35 Looks to me Loyola and rice are close to even the las...

Re: DAC week 2 power rankings and predictions

My thoughts based on week 1 results: 1. Crown Point: No surprises here. The series with Lowell should be at the very least postponed for a while. Pike isn't very good. Zionsville carved them up in the running game. I'll take Crown Point by 21. 2. Merrillville: Again, no surprises. They should roll ...

Re: DAC week 2 power rankings and predictions

Here is the thing on Chesterton. They can’t score. Offense is anemic. They literally have no one at any skill position. QB is young and will eventually be good but will struggle this year. I’ll grant you that their defense is solid. They are going to have to pitch shutouts or close to shutouts. Off...

What is he up to this fall? Is he helping out anywhere? Is he retired? Is he painting Jimbo and Paints houses?


Heard he is on east Chicago staff
His LinkedIn account lists him as Dean of Students / Assistant FB coach at East Chicago Central HS. Hope he's doing well.
